extraordinarily well-prepared welcome address at #ripe92 from the Lord Provost of Edinburgh. Definitely in the top 3 such addresses.

@ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz
@ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz I was taught another use of the vinculum; when it is placed above a sub-expression, this is to be treated as a bracketed expression. It is commonly used in this way in conjunction with the radical sign, to cover the term or expression whose root is to be evaluated.

@bagder@mastodon.social academics, no less than everyone else, need their horizons stretched from time to time!

@henryk@chaos.social If your customer were the local diocese or conference of bishops (rather than the entire Catholic Church), the founding date would be more recent, I guess. @fanf@mendeddrum.org

@fanf@mendeddrum.org we had fun like that in Ireland too. For UCD, two acts, each of a different parliament, were cited. I guess TCD/DU needed to cite an Elizabethan charter. @natural20@mastodon.ie might know more.

@bortzmeyer@mastodon.gougere.fr Merci. C'est ce que je voulais savoir : comment "on désactive le module noyau bogué".

@quixoticgeek@social.v.st it seems that not many people in the US have heard of W. Heath Robinson, and use the name Rube Goldberg when referring to such a contrivance. I maintain that WHR had prior art.

@quixoticgeek@social.v.st first time I saw mention of the Westergasfabriek, I thought immediately of the French phrase, "usine à gaz", which more or less means a Heath-Robinson contraption. Dwz something of mind-boggling complexity and not necessarily effective for its purpose.

@mastodonie@mastodon.ie I voted already, so I'm not asking to inform my decision. Are local copies made of the remote posts, or are only references to them held locally?
